You know, I spoke with a number of people about that and what I realized was this:

My upvote isn't worth much... I should just stay true to myself, keep writing quality content and work on getting a larger audience :)

I appreciate every upvote you give me!

I was looking at it from the wrong angle and I realized - you can't lose on Hive, by giving... so I started adding Hive to my weekly DCA :)

100 Upvotes of .01 are the same as 1 upvote worth 1.00... Instead of trying to appease the "bigguns"... make good content and the upvotes will come :)

Like I said before - I appreciate you upvotes and your feedback!
